This paper attempts to alleviate this imbalance. In the first section, the author scrutinizes the relationship between memory and violence. This has appeared in human history as a very real and multifaceted issue but remains under-explored in philosophy and theology. Given the vibrant nature and moral fickleness of memory, in the second section, the author outlines some ethical requirements that should regulate the use of memory. Epistemological, pedagogical and practical aspects of memory are taken into consideration within a comprehensive, broader social context, as well as individual demands. Presuming that memory can be a valuable ingredient for a good life, the author reconsiders the ethical criteria for memory, which should not just prevent violence but also stimulate tolerance and cohabitation. }, number={1}, journal={De Ethica}, author={Čurkovi č Nimac, Jasna}, year={2015}, month={May}, pages={35–48} }
